Ji Yunshuang wasn't entirely well-intentioned either.

Yan Cui and Lu Yuzhu are completely different, so she can only try her best to dress in the style of Lu Yuzhu.

The more Qi Yue resembles Lu Yanqi, the less likely he is to arouse suspicion.

Therefore, whether it was out of kindness or to deceive outsiders and find out who the shrine maiden was currently in, it was necessary to fatten him up a bit.

Qi Yue only started eating after hearing that eating was for the purpose of completing the mission.

While the two children were eating, Lu Yinheng and Ji Yunshuang discussed Qi Lei's arrangements.

Besides the Qi brothers, there are many other children in Jingyang City who have lost their families, just like them.

Ji Yunshuang pondered for a moment and said, "Let's first compile a list, and then, once we've determined that no one has adopted them, we'll find an empty house to house them temporarily. After the plague is over, we'll build an orphanage and improve the relevant laws and regulations!"

Lu Yinheng said, "It's easy to find empty houses, but the management is a problem. We're short-staffed right now and can't find anyone to manage them."

But accommodating so many children requires more than just housing. It also requires food.

If manpower is not properly arranged, and someone tries to enrich themselves at the expense of others, it will be a disaster for the children.

Ji Yunshuang thought for a moment and said, "You are in charge of selecting a location and compiling a list of orphans who need to be resettled. You don't need to worry about who is in charge; I will arrange it."

Lu Yinheng nodded in agreement.

Choosing a place for the children to live is easy.

Previously, in order to avoid the plague, many families who had not yet contracted the plague moved away.

Although those houses had been visited by some criminals, they could be used to house the orphans after a little cleaning.

In just a few breaths, he had already thought of several places.

Depending on the number of orphans, a suitable house can be selected from several locations to temporarily house them.

As for Ji Yunshuang's claim that she had arranged for someone to manage it, Lu Yinheng didn't concern himself with it. He guessed it was someone she had previously placed in Jingzhou, like Yan Cui.

Settling the orphans was a minor matter for the two of them. The most important thing now was to find out who the shrine maiden was residing in.

How can I completely kill her?

Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng discussed their future plans.

Because it is a matter of utmost importance, the more people who know about it, the more likely it is that the information will be leaked, causing their plan to fail.

Therefore, apart from Lu Yinheng and Fu Ci, Ji Yunshuang did not let anyone else know.

Many people simply follow orders and are assigned tasks. But they have no idea what the purpose of these tasks is.

However, this meant that Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng had to do many things themselves.

The two of them already had a lot to do, and now they have even more to do. They've been so busy these past few days that they haven't even had time to sleep.

Furthermore, to prevent mistakes, the two should communicate more to avoid any gaps in communication that could lead to oversights.

Despite being busy, Lu Yinheng didn't feel tired.

Because he can see Ji Yunshuang every day now, and talk to her every day...

It felt so good to work together with her to accomplish something. He was delighted…

On the other side, Qi Yue and Qi Lei were eating the pancakes with gusto.

"Brother, this pancake is so delicious! Fairy Sister is so kind." Qi Lei ate the pancake in big bites, speaking indistinctly.

"Don't call her 'Fairy Sister,' she's an adult. You have to call her 'Adult.' You can't be rude when you speak either, so don't make the adults angry," Qi Yue said patiently, looking at his younger brother.

If he were to accidentally follow his parents in death, his younger brother would be left to live alone in this world.

Looking at his thin, small brother, he was filled with worry.

"But she's like a fairy!" Qi Lei muttered, then quickly added obediently, "Brother, I'll call her 'Master' from now on, and I'll listen to her. Don't worry."

Looking at his obedient younger brother, Qi Yue felt a pang of reluctance and said, "Big brother has some things to do and won't be able to be with you for a while."

You must behave well and listen to your elders. Also, don't run around, and don't go to your elders to ask me when we'll be back. Don't believe anything else besides your elders. Only believe what your elders say, understand?

Hearing his older brother's words, Qi Lei suddenly felt a pang of panic. Even the pancake in his hand didn't taste as good as before.

His eyes reddened, and he pouted, saying, "Brother, where are you going? Don't you want Xiaolei anymore?"

"How could I abandon my Xiaolei?" Qi Yue said, "My brother has something to do, but it's a secret and can't be told to outsiders. He'll come back once he's done. Then I'll never leave Xiaolei again, and we'll be together every day."

Despite his brother's words, Qi Lei still felt uneasy. He had lost his mother at birth. His father and grandmother worked tirelessly every day to support the family. Only his older brother stayed home with him every day, taking him along on everything.

The thought of being separated from his older brother, and not knowing how long it would be before he returned, filled him with panic. He wanted to hold onto his brother and beg him not to leave.

Although he was young, he was very sensible from a young age. Although he was panicked and reluctant, he finally endured the pain, obediently nodded, and said he would wait for his brother to come back.

The two brothers hugged each other tightly...

When Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng returned, they saw this scene. Ji Yunshuang felt a pang of sadness, and Lu Yinheng, seeing Ji Yunshuang's expression, knew that she was upset.

He reached out, wanting to put his hand on her shoulder.

But in the end, his hand only lightly touched her shoulder without actually supporting her. He whispered, "Don't worry, I'll do my best to protect him."

Ji Yunshuang turned to look at him and smiled slightly, saying, "I'm not that fragile, don't worry about me."

She is not a weak or indecisive person.

Having made the decision, I won't suddenly soften my heart and abandon my previous plan.

As for Qi Yue's safety.

She will also try her best to protect Qi Yue from harm.

After the Qi brothers bid each other a reluctant farewell, Lu Yinheng quietly sent Qi Lei away.

Qi Yue stayed behind and got to know Yan Cui better.

“From today onwards, you must call me Mother.” Ji Yunshuang looked at the two of them and said gently, “You must treat me as your mother from the bottom of your hearts. Don’t be reserved when you see me. Think carefully about how children interact with their mothers.”

Although Ji Yunshuang was very gentle with the two of them, Qi Yue couldn't bring himself to call them by their names. He always felt a lot of pressure when facing Ji Yunshuang.

But he also knew that this was a mission. He had to call Lord Ji "Mother" and do as Lord Ji instructed.

He's too young; he can't possibly raise his younger brother. Only if he does what they ask of him will they help him raise his brother.

Although he was more mature than other children his age, he was still just a child. This anxiety caused him to break out in a cold sweat.

Ji Yunshuang quickly took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his face and said, "Don't worry, we'll take it slowly. It's okay if you can't shout right now. Don't be nervous."

After wiping his sweat, she put a sugar pill in his mouth and then rubbed his head.
